Sewage Pump Station Servicing

Regular servicing of sewage pumping stations is essential to prevent potential issues and ensure uninterrupted operation. Our dedicated team of highly qualified engineers specialise in sewage pump station maintenance and servicing, employing industry-leading techniques and technologies to keep your systems running efficiently. Whether for domestic properties or commercial sites, our expertise ensures that your pumping stations remain in optimal condition.

Why Should a Pump Station Be Serviced?

Servicing your pump station is crucial for detecting and addressing any potential issues before they escalate into costly problems. Regular pump maintenance, whether for domestic or commercial surface water and foul water pumping equipment, helps prolong the lifespan of your system, reduces the risk of breakdowns, maintains optimum efficiency, and ensures compliance with regulatory standards.

Common Causes of Pump Station Failures

Despite their importance, pump stations can experience failures due to various reasons. Understanding these factors can help prevent costly disruptions and ensure the smooth operation of your pumping station. Some common causes of pumping station failures include:

Accumulation of Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG)

OG build-up is a prevalent issue, particularly in sewage pump stations. Over time, fats, oils, and grease can accumulate on float switches, impeding their movement and causing malfunctions. Regular cleaning and maintenance are essential to prevent FOG-related failures.

Snagging of Rags and Wipes

Rags, wipes, and other debris can enter a sewage pumping station and become entangled in the impeller, leading to blockages and pump failures. Proper maintenance practices can help mitigate the risk of rag and wipe-related issues.

Electrical Failures

Electrical components such as wiring, control panels, and motors are susceptible to failures due to factors like moisture, corrosion, and age. Routine inspections and testing of electrical systems are necessary to identify and address potential issues before they cause pump station failures.

Mechanical Wear and Tear

Pump components, including impellers, seals, and bearings, can experience wear and tear over time, leading to reduced performance and eventual failure. Regular inspection and replacement of worn parts are crucial for maintaining the efficiency and reliability of sewage pumps.

Power Outages

Power outages or electrical disruptions can halt the operation of sewage pumps, resulting in sewage backups and potential environmental hazards. Backup power systems or emergency response plans should be in place to mitigate the impact of power failures on pump station operations.

Inflow and Infiltration

Excessive inflow and infiltration of stormwater or groundwater into drainage systems can overwhelm a pumping station and lead to overflows and failures. Proper maintenance of sewer lines, as well as the installation of flow monitoring systems, can help identify and address inflow and infiltration issues.

By addressing these common causes of pump station failures through proactive maintenance, monitoring, and mitigation strategies, you can minimise the risk of disruptions to your sewage systems and ensure the continued operation of your pump station.
